Lol......he took 2 fastballs right down the middle 

He’s impossibly bad, good lord

A's announcers simply can't believe Benintendi highest paid player in franchise history...naming all those more famous Sox names from Thomas/Ventura onwards.

What a lame AB.

Remillard gives me big time Whit Merrifield vibes. Obviously an absolute best case scenario, and comps are lazy, but he reminded me of him just watching him play. Then I looked it up and merrifield wasn’t much in the minors either before breaking in as an old rookie. 
 

we can dream. 

Gordon Beckham just used this comp. 

 

so I’m officially wrong and I apologize. 

Tim, what it is that you’d say you do around here??

TA just has checked out called completely 

Great AB Robert.

Merrifield was and is ten times the base stealer...at least at the big league level.  XB machine in his prime.

Gordo thinks the shadows are getting to Tim...

Sinker right down the plate, chops it right into the ground.

I think it’s something else

Bases loaded 2 times so Sox 

Medina is throwing pitches right down the plate, and they just can’t make him pay 

I thought Vanilla Ice had a thriving realty business....must have fallen on hard times with the higher rates.

TA needs to be taken out of the second spot. Switch him with Remilliard and bat him 9 th.  He has been a rally killer.  His mind is not in the game.  He also had two bad throws to first.  Pedro needs to act, he seems afraid to confrontTA.

We’re basically the big city Royals which is truly beyond pathetic.

The whole organization is afraid of Timmy for some reason

this team remains impossibly annoying

We generally suck with the bases loaded. We are too impatient at the plate, and seem unwilling to work the count to wait for a good pitch to hit.

Oakland is going to the Bank.

 

I’ve accepted the Sox are awful and I’d be fine if the A’s swept. But I want to see Banks do well. He’s a good guy.
